The Canadian Temperature Conversion Guide:

+15° C = Vancouverites try to turn on the heat. Manitobans plant gardens.

+10° C = Victorians shiver uncontrollably. Winnipeggers sunbathe.

+5° C = Italian cars won't start. Winnipeggers drive with the windows down.

Zero° C = Distilled water freezes. Winnipeg's water gets thicker.

-5° C = Torontonians wear coats, gloves & wool hats. Manitobans throw on a T-shirt.

-15° C = Quebecers begin to evacuate the province. Manitobans go swimming.

-20° C = Toronto landlords finally turn up the heat. Manitobans have the last cookout before it gets cold.

-25° C = People in Vancouver cease to exist. Manitobans lick flagpoles.

-30° C = Calgarians fly away to Mexico. Manitobans throw on a light jacket.

I never throw on a light jacket in -30C. Ridiculous list.

That's pretty funny! :rofl:

Is temperature -100C funny? That kills everyone.

So how could the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup at -295C.

And, Canadians can't say anything when its throat can't move. (Atomic motion stopped, then how could we say the word, cold, eh?)

The coldest temp ever recorded in Vancouver was -18 celcius, so we may never know what would happen if we got to -25!

Wow, you TOTALLY missed the humour... :weird:

oh god...

Wow, you TOTALLY missed the humour... :weird:

You are the one who's missing the humor, dude.

^^ Huh... ?

:hahaha: I LOVE IT... thank you.

And the coldest I can say I have been outside in was in the high -50s with the windchill I believe. It was quite crisp to say the least.

Mine is about -53C Windchill in Fairbanks, Alaska, which was -45C temperature.

I don't remember what the regular temperature was without the wind... but it was here in Regina.

Or probably I don't really know the windchill because I'm either inside my house/my car/my office during those coldest periods.

Actually I believe I've been in Manitoba and had about -50C windchill, but certainly not lower than -50C.

Wow... I never knew it could get that cold there. Hey, curious, how much layers were you wearing??? :shocked:

I don't know what the coldest I have been outside in is... I think it was when I was a little kid, and I went to Loon Lake (inland a few hours in BC) in winter and the lake was frozen solid. You could walk on it and skate and stuff, and it wouldn't break.

The reason I was outside was because I had to take the bus to university that day and so had to walk to the bus stop and wait (outside). I probably just had one layer for pants, but 3 for shirt/jacket.

You seem surprised that a lake can freeze solid in winter... The lakes here are usually frozen by early to mid-December... and are then cleared by trucks for skating and such :).

Around here (Thompson), by early December a lake become a solid and skating on it is quite fun, but that's not special at all. Actually I've lived here for 2 years right after I left Regina. And this year I'm back from Winnipeg again. It's not very different from Winnipeg here, very chilly winter as usual, but sometimes it could get around 0C and quickly down to -20C within 24 hours so that lakes wouldn't melt.

:rofl:
